Participants will leave with practical strategies for setting thoughtful digital boundaries\, opening ongoing conversations about online experiences\, and supporting safer\, more resilient digital habits grounded in trust and care. \nPresented by Erin Walsh \nErin Walsh is co-founder of Spark & Stitch Institute and author of It’s Their World: Teens\, Screens\, and the Science of Adolescence. She has worked with communities across the country who want to better understand child and adolescent development and cut through conflicting information about kids and technology.

A Survival Guide to the Adolescent Brain for You and Your Teen and has worked with schools\, school districts\, parent groups and other youth serving organizations throughout the United States and Canada on issues related to digital media\, parenting\, and child and adolescent development.

SUMMARY:[Spring Summit] Ready\, Set\, Launch! Coaching Teens into a Future They’re Prepared For
DESCRIPTION:Launching a teen into adulthood requires clarity\, support\, and connection—especially for adopted youth who may be navigating additional layers of identity work\, anxiety\, or developmental gaps. This workshop equips parents and caregivers with practical tools to guide teens toward independence while honoring both their strengths and their vulnerabilities. \nIn this future-focused session\, you’ll learn how to build routines that strengthen executive functioning\, emotional resilience\, and self-leadership. You’ll discover how to replace conflict with curiosity\, create structure without power struggles\, and set boundaries that inspire accountability and confidence. \nAs the world continues to shift rapidly\, teens need far more than academic preparation. They need emotional grounding\, identity security\, and real-world readiness. This workshop empowers parents and caregivers to step into the role of supportive coach\, guiding their teens toward adulthood with clarity\, compassion\, and confidence. \nDesigned with adoptive families in mind\, this training integrates trauma-informed practices and identity-sensitive strategies that support both independence and connection. It is rooted in action: real tools\, concrete systems\, and co-created plans that help families move from uncertainty to direction.
